[AINews] Anthropic ends Coding Interviews: "Hunger beats tenure"
Anthropic hiring manager eliminates coding interviews, citing Claude's superior performance at such tasks
“Hunger beats tenure”
Felix Rieseberg, a hiring manager at Anthropic, announced he has stopped administering traditional coding interviews, arguing that Claude now outperforms candidates at the tasks these interviews test. He reframes what engineers need to demonstrate—business impact, ambitious ideas, and fast prototyping—over algorithmic test performance. This signals a concrete, named-company shift in how AI organizations are rethinking engineering hiring in the AI-native era.
